Live Aquaria is going out of business ?

[Turkeysammich]

Looks like live aquaria is done. It’s kinda sad but long over due. They are selling everything out of the Wisconsin store to shut it down. Website is down too.

Wow. Never bought anything from them but they were useful in terms of looking up stats on fish.

+1, I always visited their website for the compatibility chart.. hope someone somewhere took screenshots that they will host on cloud for everyone

Yes, someone did.

I mean after Kevin Kohen went to Quality Marine it was inevitable. The biggest loss is their database of fish descriptions. I still use it to quickly look up fish (size ranges, compatibility, male vs. female pictures, etc.)

Yeah +1 to Thomas.. when I said compatibility chart, I actually meant to say the fish description, I loved how they had everything mentioned in the description from max size, to what size tank etc.. I kinda got used to reading it in the format they posted.

Saw this on my feed this morning.

Guess they filed for bankruptcy then reopened. That’s crazy.

Probably to sell live stock that is left

I would have a hard time buying anything right now until I know they are here to stay unless I had a credit with them. I haven't bought from them in years.

So you think it's only temporary and they will close soon as they clean stuff out.

A lot of companies use bankruptcy as a legal maneuver to allow reorganization and debt restructuring without being constrained by normal rules. As opposed to because they are going away.

Article I came across - how accurate it is? No clue-

The End of an Era? Live Aquaria | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

Etropicalfish has closed for business and the parent company has declared bankruptcy. Raj Shingadia discloses which assets are for sale and how much debt is owed and how Live Aquaria could be affected by this.

Yes ..unless someone buys them out.
